    Nah it starts counting when map starts, so after tactical time is over it's already good to go. Should probably fix that

    I think there was a problem with the settings in create server options (the GUI part) not working.

    nice work, but why remove the tank and infantry camo? I always thought that was a pretty shiny little addition, purely for aesthetics but still...

    i command alot, yet i draw penises even more frequently, it's like combining my two favourite things. Just like when i found you could order pizza thru my satalite tv.

    On a serious note; many thanks to you all for the work, looks like some good stuff in there.

    Sorry if this is off-topic but THAT IS ***KING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    On another note...
    I was testing the draw function and to be honest I don't like it that much. The line randomly stops in stupid areas and won't extend(probably me being stupid). Btw is Empires good on the maps that were broken yet?

    Yeah the draw function is mainly for quick scribbles, not elaborately drawn phalluses. It only supports 10 drawn lines with about 20 drawing points (which is like 5 seconds of holding down the mouse) because the amount of data it has to send to server and server to rest of clients is big. I'll be adding simple shapes (lines, circles, arrows, etc) that you can spam on the map, so those should be good for persistent orders. Drawn lines are good for explaining the tactics in the beginning

    Revive icons on engi is awesome.
    Reintroducing commander attack orders is awesome.
    Changing autospot from being completely gay is awesome.
    Commander drawing on the minimap is awesome.

    Where to send beer?

    don't send beer, don't you know about programers? We survive on candy bars, sodas, and cup noodles.

    i am wondering if the fix to the minimap's tendency to randomly display enemies wherever the hell it wants is gonna actually work :P

    Mootant disabled camo because he didn't like how it looked, plain and simple.

    I tried to convince him not to do it but he wouldn't compromise.

    Agree. Biggest problem I had when I first started, or whenever I drink makers mark is what models belong to which side. Camo still fucks me up

    How about letters for squads from A - E for like positioning, movement, etc.?

    (I say A - E because only if you piss about you'll get any further)

    There are barely any reasons to keep it and there lots of reasons not to keep it, plain and simple. I might not have finished removing camo from models and recompiling them, it has to be done to get real savings of VRAM as far as I remember.

    Does this equate to faster loads or better fps? I don't really care about faster loads but, better fps I care about. More FPS means I can turn the AA and AT up. :)
